OnePlus Mini or OnePlus Mi Band rival launching October 12th? What do you think

OnePlus fans in India will get to witness ‘The Next Big Step’ for OnePlus in India on 12th October, so will this be the release of a OnePlus Mini or a new fitness band?

In a previous interview, OnePlus India General Manager Vikas Agarwal, had confirmed the existence of a budget OnePlus phone and how it will be made to specifically target users in India. Over in China there are murmurs on Weibo of a new OnePlus X device, a phone boasting a 5-inch display, Mediatek Helio X10 chipset and costing just $249.

That admission seems to have been timed quite nicely as now we are looking at a new OnePlus Event in India Scheduled for the 12th October. Our knee jerk reaction is that the announcement would focus on a new low-cost smartphone, but a teaser from OnePlus on Weibo hints at something else.

The image above shows an X marked out from a fitness application leading us to believe that OnePlus might be launching a Xiaomi Mi Band rival in India. A fitness product ties in with “The Next Big Step”event title.

So over to you. Do you think “The Next Big Step” for OnePlus will be the release of a new budget phone or a fitness product?
